Yeah, I already put 3, but after escaping the desert island I ended up on another one.

1. Burns: What do you think, Smithers?  
Smithers: I think women and sea-men don’t mix.  
Burns: We _know_ what you think!

2. Bart: “Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me.”

3. Sideshow Bob: "You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth. No truth-handler, you. Bah! I deride your truth-handling abilities.

Hope it’s ok that I can only think of one right now…

“Marge, will you join me for brunch?”  
“What’s that?”  
“It’s not quite breakfast, not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of canteloupe at the end.”

## My favorite Simpsons exchange of all time puts all others in a tie for second:

Stacy Lavelle (creator of Malibu Stacy): I was forced out in 1974. They said my way of thinking just wasn’t cost effective.

Lisa: [gasps] That’s awful.

## Stacy: Well, that, and I was funneling profits to the Viet Cong.

## Marge (complaining of boredom): Last week, some Jeohvah’s witnesses came to the door, and I wouldn’t let them leave. They snuck away when I went into the kitchen to get more lemonade.

(Homer deals Blackjack to James Bond and Blofeld)  
Blofeld: 20. Your move, Mr. Bond.  
Bond: I’ll take a hit, dealer. [Homer gives him a card] Joker! You were supposed to take those out of the deck.  
Homer: Oh, sorry. Here’s another one.  
Bond: What’s this card? “Rules for Draw and Stud Poker”?  
Blofeld: What a pity, Mr. Bond. [Odd Job and Jaws grab Bond and drag him out]  
Bond: But…but it’s Homer’s fault! I didn’t lose. I never lose! Well, at least tell me the details of your plot for world domination.  
Blofeld: Ho ho ho, I’m not going to fall for _that_ one again.

Homer: “He’s gone to the garage”

Moe: “Oh, gar_age_ is it? Gar_age_? Well La-di-da Mr Frenchman!”

Homer: “Well what do you call it?”

Moe: “A car-hole”

* * *

Marge: “Kids can be so cruel”

Bart: “We can? Thanks Mom!”

Lisa: “Owww!”

Badly paraphrasing from the Radioactive Man episode:

Bart: “What are you doing with that horse?”

Film guy: “Well, cows don’t show up on film so we have to paint horses to look like 'em”

Bart: “What do you do if you want a cow?”

Film guy: “Aah, we just tape a bunch of cats together”

From Treehouse of Horror VIII

Bart: Hey, dad, can I use the transporter sometimes? Please, I swear I’ll be careful!  
Homer: Sorry, but this is a highly sophisti-ma-cated doo-wacky. If you don’t use it responsibly, KA-BLAM-O! (Homer outstretches his arms to add emphasis. One of them goes into the matter transporter.)  
Lisa: (in another room of the house) Ow, somebody just punched me in the face!  
Homer: It was your mother!

And later: Bart! Did someone forget our little KA-BLAM-O! talk?  
I use highly sophisti-macted doo-whackey all the time. 'Course, I work in IT, so we have a fair number of said doo-whackeys around.

Marge: “Homer, you were drunk!”

Homer: “Aaand howww.”
